Rogers and Hammerstein's first collaboration OKLAHOMA remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today.

The music represents Rodgers and Hammerstein at their very best.  "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'", "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top", "I Cain't Say No", "Many A New Day", "People Will Say We're In Love",  and of course "Oklahoma!" itself form the basis of a truly memorable score.

Set in a Western territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story.

Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road.

That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA.
